The migrant protest camps at the Koekamp in The Hague and Osdorp/Nieuw West in Amsterdam continue. Both are receving support from local residents and organisations.

Today (Tuesday 8th October) the IND delivered a letter to the Koekamp saying that only those migrants that agree to return to their home countries will be accommodated. The migrants have said that they cannot go back and they have vowed to stay on.

Amsterdam’s mayor Van der Laan has said that the camp can stay for the time being. A survey last week in Amsterdam daily Het Parool showed that a majority of the city’s residents want the city council to support the migrants who are camping.
